HMW and LMW glutenin alleles among putative tetraploid and hexaploid European spelt wheat (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum spelta</Emphasis> L.) progenitors

The allelic compositions of high- and low-molecular-weight subunits of glutenins (HMW-GS and LMW-GS) among European spelt (Triticum spelta L.) and related hexaploid and tetraploid Triticum species were investigated by one- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). A total of seven novel glutenin alleles (designated A1a*, B1d*, B1g*, B1f*, B1j*, D1a* at Glu-1 and A3h at the Glu-3 loci, respectively) in European spelt wheat were detected by SDS-PAGE, which were confirmed further by employing A-PAGE and CE methods. Particularly, two HMW-GS alleles, Glu-B1d* coding the subunits 6.1 and 22.1, and Glu-B1f* coding the subunits 13 and 22*, were found to occur in European spelt with frequencies of 32.34% and 5.11%, respectively. These two alleles were present in cultivated emmer (Triticum dicoccum), but they were not observed in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The allele Glu-B1g* coding for 13* and 19* subunits found in spelt wheat was also detected in club wheat (Triticum compactum L.). Additionally, two alleles coding for LMW-GS, Glu-A3h and Glu-B3d, occurred with high frequencies in spelt, club and cultivated emmer wheat, whereas these were not found or present with very low frequencies in bread wheat. Our results strongly support the secondary origin hypothesis, namely European spelt wheat originated from hybridization between cultivated emmer and club wheat. This is also confirmed experimentally by the artificial synthesis of spelt through crossing between old European emmer wheat, T. dicoccum and club wheat, T. compactum.Communicated by H.F.

Comprehensive identification of LMW-GS genes and their protein products in a common wheat variety

Although it is well known that low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) from wheat affect bread and noodle processing quality, the function of specific LMW-GS proteins remains unclear. It is important to find the genes that correspond to individual LMW-GS proteins in order to understand the functions of specific proteins. The objective of this study was to link LMW-GS genes and haplotypes characterized using well known Glu-A3, Glu-B3, and Glu-D3 gene-specific primers to their protein products in a single wheat variety. A total of 36 LMW-GS genes and pseudogenes were amplified from the Korean cultivar Keumkang. These include 11 Glu-3 gene haplotypes, two from the Glu-A3 locus, two from the Glu-B3 locus, and seven from the Glu-D3 locus. To establish relationships between gene haplotypes and their protein products, a glutenin protein fraction was separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DGE) and 17 protein spots were analyzed by N-terminal amino acid sequencing and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). LMW-GS proteins were identified that corresponded to all Glu-3 gene haplotypes except the pseudogenes. This is the first report of the comprehensive characterization of LMW-GS genes and their corresponding proteins in a single wheat cultivar. Our approach will be useful to understand the contributions of individual LMW-GS to the end-use quality of flour.     

Allelic variation of high molecular weight glutenin subunits of bread wheat in Hebei province of China

In common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), allelic variations of Glu-1 loci have important influences on grain end-use quality. The allelic variations in high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) were identified in 151 hexaploid wheat varieties representing a historical trend in the cultivars introduced or released in Hebei province of China from the years 1970s to 2010s. Thirteen distinct alleles were detected for Glu-1. At Glu-A1, Glu-B1 and Glu-D1, we found that the most frequent alleles were the 1 (43.0%), 7+8 (64.9%), 2+12 (74.8%) alleles, respectively, in wheat varieties. Twenty two different HMW-GS compositions were observed in wheat. Twenty-five (16.6%) genotypes possessed the combination of subunits 1, 7+8, 2+12, 25 (16.6%) genotypes had subunit composition of 2*, 7+8, 2+12; 20 (13.2%) genotypes had subunit composition of null, 7+8, 2+12. The frequency of other subunit composition was less than 10%. The Glu-1 quality score greater than or equal to 9 accounted for 20.6% of the wheat varieties. The percentage of superior subunits (1 or 2* subunit at Glu-A1 locus; 7+8, 14+15 or 17+18 at Glu-B1 locus; 5+10 or 5+12 at Glu-D1 locus) was an upward trend over the last 40 years. The more different superior alleles correlated with good bread-making quality should be introduced for their usage in wheat improvement efforts.

Development of haplotype-specific molecular markers for the low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits

Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GSs) are one of the major components of gluten, and their allelic variation has been widely associated with different wheat end-use quality parameters. These proteins are encoded by multigene families located at the orthologous Glu-3 loci (Glu-A3, Glu-B3, and Glu-D3); the genes at each locus are divided by large intergenic and highly recombinogenic regions. Among the methods used for the LMW-GS allele identification, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular markers have the advantages of being simple, accurate, and independent from the plant stage of development. However, the available LMW-GS molecular markers are either incapable of capturing the complexity of the LMW-GS gene family or difficult to interpret. In the present study, we report the development of a set of PCR-based molecular markers specific for the LMW-GS haplotypes present at each Glu-3 locus. Based on the LMW-GS gene sequences available in GenBank, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) specific for each Glu-3 haplotype were identified and the relevant PCR primers were designed. In total, we developed three molecular markers for the Glu-A3 and Glu-B3 loci, respectively, and five molecular markers for the Glu-D3 locus. The markers were tested on 44 bread wheat varieties previously characterized for their LMW-GS genic profile and found to be equally or more efficient than previously developed LMW-GS PCR-based markers. This set of markers allows an easier and less ambiguous identification of specific LMW-GS haplotypes associated with gluten strength and can facilitate marker-assisted breeding for wheat quality.     

Evidence of intralocus recombination at the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Glu-3</Emphasis> loci in bread wheat (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum aestivum</Emphasis> L.)

Key message

Recombination at the Glu-3 loci was identified, and strong genetic linkage was observed only between the amplicons representing i-type and s-type genes located, respectively, at the Glu-A3 and Glu-B3 loci.

Abstract

The low-molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GSs) are one of the major components of wheat seed storage proteins and play a critical role in the determination of wheat end-use quality. The genes encoding this class of proteins are located at the orthologous Glu-3 loci (Glu-A3, Glu-B3, and Glu-D3). Due to the complexity of these chromosomal regions and the high sequence similarity between different LMW-GS genes, their organization and recombination characteristics are still incompletely understood. This study examined intralocus recombination at the Glu-3 loci in two recombinant inbred line (RIL) and one doubled haploid (DH) population, all segregating for the Glu-A3, Glu-B3, and Glu-D3 loci. The analysis was conducted using a gene marker system that consists of the amplification of the complete set of the LMW-GS genes and their visualization by capillary electrophoresis. Recombinant marker haplotypes were detected in all three populations with different recombination rates depending on the locus and the population. No recombination was observed between the amplicons representing i-type and s-type LMW-GS genes located, respectively, at the Glu-A3 and Glu-B3 loci, indicating tight linkage between these genes. Results of this study contribute to better understanding the genetic linkage and recombination between different LMW-GS genes, the structure of the Glu-3 loci, and the development of more specific molecular markers that better represent the genetic diversity of these loci. In this way, a more precise analysis of the contribution of various LMW-GSs to end-use quality of wheat may be achieved.

     

Analysis of diversity of Russian and Ukrainian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars for high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits

The allelic diversity of high-moleculat-weght glutenin subunits (H WIGS) in Russian and Ukrainian bread wheat cultivars was analyzed. The diversity of spring wheat cultivars for alleles of the Glu-1 loci is characterized by medium values of the polymorphism index (polymorphism information content, PlC), and in winter wheats it varies from high at the Glu-A1 locus to low at the Glu-D1 locus. The spring and winter cultivars differ significantly in the frequencies of alleles of the glutenin loci. The combination of the Glu-A1b, Glu-B1c, and Glu-D1a alleles prevails among the spring cultivars, and the combination of the Glu-A1a, Glu-B1c, and Glu-D1d alleles prevails among the winter cultivars. The distribution of the Glu-1 alleles significantly depends on the moisture and heat supply in the region of origin of the cultivars. Drought resistance is associated with the Glu-D1a allele in the spring wheat and with the Glu-B1b allele in the winter wheat. The sources of the Glu-1 alleles were identified in the spring and wheat cultivars. The analysis of independence of the distribution of the spring and winter cultivars by the market classes and by the alleles of the HMWGS loci showed a highly significant association of the alleles of three Glu-1 loci with the market classes in foreign cultivars and independence or a weak association in the Russian and Ukrainian cultivars. This seems to be due to the absence of a statistically substantiated system of classification of the domestic cultivars on the basis of their quality.     

Characterization of low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit genes and their protein products in common wheats

To characterize the low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS), we developed specific PCR primer sets to distinguish 12 groups of LMW-GS genes of Norin 61 and to decide their loci with nullisomic–tetrasomic lines of Chinese Spring. Three, two, and ten groups were assigned to Glu-A3, Glu-B3, and Glu-D3 loci, respectively. To identify the proteins containing the corresponding amino acid sequences, we determined the N-terminal amino acid sequence of 12 spots of LMW-GSs of Norin 61 separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE). The N-terminal sequences of the LMW-GS spots showed that 10 of 12 groups of LMW-GSs were expressed as protein products, which included LMW-i, LMW-m, and LMW-s types. Four spots were encoded by Glu-A3 (LMW-i). Three spots were encoded by Glu-B3 (LMW-m and LMW-s). Five spots were encoded by Glu-D3 (LMW-m and LMW-s). A minor spot of LMW-m seemed to be encoded by the same Glu-B3 gene as a major spot of LMW-s, but processed at a different site. Comparing among various cultivars, there were polymorphic and non-polymorphic LMW-GSs. Glu-A3 was highly polymorphic, i.e., the a, b, and c alleles showed one spot, the d allele showed four spots, and the e allele had no spot. Insignia used as one of the Glu-A3 null standard cultivars had a LMW-GS encoded by Glu-A3. We also found that Cheyenne had a new Glu-D3 allele. Classification of LMW-GS by a combination of PCR and 2DE will be useful to identify individual LMW-GSs and to study their contribution to flour quality.
